That cat looks a lot like one of ours, except that ours has the more traditional tabby stripes instead of these pretty swirls. I also think that ours would eat the chick in no time flat, so I am not going to try this at home!

My childhood kitty once had a baby bird hid underneath her very heavy blankets (still alive). I’m sure she took a very nice nap with him. I’m also sure she had every intention of eating him later. (Also imagine I looked pretty funny at 8 years old reacting to lifting up the cat’s blanket to have a bird come gratefully hopping out!)
